I forgot about the Millie Jackson one. I've actually seen that one (though not heard it.)

I couldn't believe that this was actually the real album cover.
Surely the label..even Britney herself knew this cover looked shitty as fuck.

Anyhoo, am I the only one who loves Gimme More and Piece Of Me?... :)

Yeah thats the real thing.
and no i love gimme more and piece of me as well.
that cd is really good.
i don't care what anyone says.
even though she didn't write any of it.

Holy crap! Can't believe this was ever released. Nothing like a little child porn in the bin when you're shopping for records at K-Mart. I've only ever seen it with the alternate cover.

Even weirder...according to Wikipedia, the record company designed it, and Klaus Whatizname was "shocked". Way to go RCA...I wonder if they did any filthy covers for John Denver around the same time.

this album cover always interested me, even before I knew who the basement jaxx were:

It's called "Pork Soda". There's a pig head in carbonated water. What's not to understand?

You don't understand the Beatles butcher cover? It was their not so subtle way of accusing Capitol of "butchering" their records, which were all released differently in the states. The bible belt had a shit-fit about it though, and they were recalled and stripped (in some cases covered over) and it came out as "Yesterday and Today." My boss actually worked for Capitol then and was forced to strip thousands of them, unfortunately she didn't have the foresight to pocket several of them, which are now worth a shit ton.

- WOW !

I thought the Janes Addiction response, with the First Amendment on it, to their Ritual album not being carried by Wal Mart and other stores was interesting

Pretty racey old school brass band cover

Nashville Pussy are actually pretty popular as a touring band. I've never met anyone that actually bought an album though.

EDIT- That album was actually nominated for a Grammy for best Metal performance.

The Herb Alpert cover is ultra famous, and has been parodied often

My favorite whipped cream dress was actually a magazine cover..

But just to stay in the subject, here is a hilarious album cover by a band called Pansy Division..

Disclaimer: I, the original poster, in no way support or condone suicide. In my opinion, this is possibly the WORST album cover ever. If you so desire, please follow the link to form your own opinion.

Dawn of the Black Hearts is a bootleg album by Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. It is infamous for bearing a real photo of late vocalist Dead's corpse after his suicide with a shotgun and a knife. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_of_the_Black_Hearts)

But try again.

Sometimes being a dick doesn't make any sense, nipples. I think my post was pretty valid in this thread - so the only explaination for your dumbass comment is that you may be a dick, wait you are.

Nevermind.

sooo...you can criticize other people's taste, but when somebody attacks yours...they are in the wrong?

you're a fucking tool c dub ya. hey, why don't you make (another) post letting the board know that "this coachella vet" won't be going to this year's festival. believe me when i say, NO ONE FUCKING CARES IF YOU GO OR NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED. douche.

If anyone is a "doucey tool" it ain't me partner.

My comment has more to do with facts of it being a shitty cover than the "taste" of your design aesthetic.

It may of come off wrong... but I was really referring to a photo of someone dead. That sucks for the band as well as the fans - and I find it in poor taste. That's what i was referring to. But again, it's just not a good cover, thats a fact. I think you put it up there just to "shock"everyone with what you think you know. That may be one of the worst album covers I have ever seen from a design standpoint - so you labeling it a good one - shows what little you know.

I didn't say anything like no one cares.

I'm hurt you won't miss me.

as far as "another" post - I participate in multiple threads - somtimes they overlap - and yes I have repeated the fact i will not be going - but its not because I wouldn't if things were slightly different.

If you look - I'm really not a negative guy.

i think we have misunderstood each other. i did not realize you were referring to the suicide album cover. i suggest you check the title of this thread. in no way am i a fan of suicide, and certainly would never promote it as good. this is why i posted a link, with no commentary, as opposed to the actual picture. it is, in fact, a vile album cover...IMO one of, if not THE, worst ever.
